Looks good, thanks! IO mode seems to have changed a bit, giving different values to 3.5, it seems while 3.5 gives you the count for the sample period, 3.8 always gives you a per-second rate, e.g. top -mio -s 20: 3.8: 44181 freaky 240 0 240 0 0 240 99.74% cat 3.5: 44181 freaky 4664 5 4667 0 0 4667 100.00% cat This might be confusing, since it means values from two different top -mio's are no longer directly comparable. 3.8 also seems to be lacking IO sorting options; "o vcsw" etc are missing. Will they be returning? Also, the [number] argument given to -m io has no effect: top -m io 10 Setting it after loading with "n 10" causes top to exit. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst http://hur.st/
